Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively analyzes feed utilization efficiency in swine from the growing-finishing period and discusses current applications and recommendations. There is an urgent need to promote lean-type pigs while penalizing fat-type pigs by updating pork grading systems due to changing lifestyles and dietary practices. This book addresses these concerns and aims to help producers improve efficiency. The author reviews research on the efficiency of feed utilization in swine, considering effects of diet and other factors, estimates of phenotypic and genetic parameters, and experimental results with alternative measures of efficiency. Detailed discussion and recommendations are provided, along with a proposed selection index that incorporates efficiency indirectly in deriving the selection index by use of genetic covariances of efficiency with growth and backfat thickness. The book concludes with expected genetic gains and combined economic responses, providing valuable insights for swine producers seeking to improve the efficiency of their operations and contribute to the evolving pork industry landscape.
